Safety Summary

Cap the lens when camera is not in use — Protect the precision made lens by

placing the lens cap over the lens when the camera is not in use. If the lens is not installed, protect the surface of the prism by placing the body cap into the lens mount hole. Use a mild blower or lens cleaning tissue designed for coated lenses, to clean the surface of the lens or prism in the event that it should become dirty. Do not touch the surface of the lens or prism.

Do not aim the camera toward the sun — Even with power off, the camera optics

could be damaged. Use caution when operating the camera in the vicinity of spot lights or bright lights, as well as light reflecting objects and surfaces.

Do not use the camera in high temperatures or high humidity environments — Use the

camera in an environment where the temperature is within 32 °F (0 °C) to +104 °F (+40 °C), and the relative humidity is within 30% to 90% (no condensation).

Do not leave the camera turned on when not in use.

Section 1 — Overview

Robotic Camera and SHOT Director

The robotic head processes the pan and tilt inputs and moves the camera to the commanded location. It passes zoom and focus commands to the lens assembly. It also provides a communication path between the camera head and SHOT Director (for configuration and status monitoring), and provides 12 V dc to power the camera block.

The camera block receives 12 V dc power from the robotic head, tally (red and amber) dry contact control from a tally controller, and facility supplied gen-lock (sync). The camera provides iris control to the lens assembly, status and configuration menu access to the SHOT Director (through the robotic head assembly), and produces SDI video out to station switching and processing equipment.

Robotic camera control requires connection to a JSC-2300 SHOT Director robotics/camera controller through a network hub. (Figure 3)

Installation

Unpacking

Check all parts received against the packing list enclosed with your shipment, and examine the equipment for any shipping damage. Immediately report any missing or damaged items to the carrier and to your Grass Valley Service Representative (See Contacting Grass Valley on page 4).

Keep all manuals supplied with your equipment. You will need them to complete the installation procedures.

Installation Procedures

Section 2

General

Before you can use your Ignite SDC/HDC robotic camera, you must:

1. Mount the robotic assembly onto a tripod (or other mounting surface).

2. Install the optional prompter onto the robotic pan/tilt head assembly.

3. Install the camera/lens assembly onto the prompter, or directly onto

the robotic pan/tilt head (if the optional prompter was not purchased).

4. Connect cables.

Ignite SDC/HDC Robotic Camera Instruction Manual 23

Section 2 — Installation

Robotic Pan/Tilt Head Assembly

Note Ignite SDC/HDC robotic cameras are suitable for inverted mounting.

1. Check the selected camera location to ensure that there is enough

clearance (Figure 5) for the fully assembled camera, prompter, and cables to pan and tilt without obstruction.

If necessary, you can limit pan and/or tilt movement by adjusting the pan/tilt head soft stops via the SHOT Director controller. Refer to the JSC-2300 SHOT Director Robotics/Camera Controller Instruction Manual.

2. On the stationary ring at the top of the pedestal mount (Figure 6), locate

the zero-degree (pan) position labeled FRONT. Point the FRONT label in the direction that best reflects the center of travel in which the camera will be used (usually the center of the room).

Installation Procedures

CAUTION Ensure that the selected mounting surface and hardware can safely support

the weight of a fully assembled unit (approximately 55 lbs (29.95 kg)).

3. If ceiling/inverted mounting is required:

• Remove the L-bracket, rotate it 180 degrees, then re-attach it to the

robotic pan/tilt head.

• Attach a safety wire or chain, that can support the

weight of the fully assembled unit to one of the bolts in the pedestal mount flange and secure the other end to a rigid part of the ceiling/ mounting location.

4. Attach the robotic pan/tilt head assembly to the selected mounting

location. Use the four mounting holes in the pedestal mount flange as shown in Figure 7.

92_10_r0

3. Attach drop plates to extrusion and tighten red fixing screws. A choice

of mounting holes are provided to raise and lower the monitor in relation to the hood to prevent the outer edge of the TFT screen from appearing in the shot.

4. Attach the hood to the extrusion and rotate hood columns to tighten.

5. Move prompter unit back on the support rods until the lens is nearly

touching the glass and lock in position with small locking levers.

6. Slide the whole prompter assembly back on the mounting plate rods to

obtain best possible balance of the pan/tilt L-bracket. Attach counterweights if necessary.

32 Ignite SDC/HDC Robotic Camera Instruction Manual

Operation

Operating Procedure

Section 3

1. Turn on all equipment power.

WARNING Ensure personnel and obstacles are clear of the camera during power-up.

The robotic head will automatically rotate to the preset zero degree pan and tilt location.

Note The camera robotics may make some noise for the first few hours of opera-

tion. This is due to a special type of grease that will seat into the gears to provide long life lubrication of the mechanical components. The noise should abate soon after the camera is put into operation.

2. Adjust the camera.

Use the SHOT Director to adjust the camera.

Refer to the JSC-2300 SHOT Director Robotics/Camera Controller Instruction Manual for procedures and Appendix A-SD (NTSC) Camera

Block, Appendix B-SD (PAL) Camera Block, or Appendix C-HD Camera Block for adjustment options.

You should adjust the following items the first time the camera is used.

a. Camera ID and IP address.

The pan/tilt head and JSC-2300 SHOT Director are factory set to default IP addresses to allow the units to communicate initially. If you are connecting multiple cameras, you will need to set each camera to a unique ID and IP address using the JSC-2300 SHOT Director. Refer to Appendix D-Robotic (Pan/Tilt Head) for default and recommended IP addresses and camera IDs.

b. White balance adjustment.

This adjustment is needed when the camera is used for the first time, after leaving it unused for a long time, or when the lighting condition or brightness change.

Note After adjusting the white balance, re-adjustment is not needed under the

same conditions.

Ignite SDC/HDC Robotic Camera Instruction Manual 33

Section 3 — Operation

c. Black balance adjustment.

This adjustment is needed when the camera is used for the first time, after being unused for a long time, or when the ambient temperature changes significantly (i.e. seasonal changes).

Note After adjusting the black balance, re-adjustment is not needed under the

same conditions.

d. Flange back adjustment for zoom lens

This adjustment is used to set the focus range of the zoom lens from maximum (telephoto) to wide angle.

Note This adjustment is performed at the factory and will typically not need to be

performed in the field, unless it is necessary to change the lens.

• Fully open the iris by shooting a dark object from a distance of at least 6.6 ft (2 m).

• Loosen the flange back fixing knob.

Figure 14. Zoom Lens Adjustments

Focus ring Flange back xing knob

Flange back adjust ring

• Set the lens to maximum zoom and adjust the focus by turning the focus ring.

• Set the lens to widest angle and adjust the focus by turning the flange back adjust ring.

• Repeat adjustment of focus ring and flang back adjust ring until the focus is adjusted through the entire zoom range.

• Tighten the flange back fixing knob.

e. Gen-lock adjustment.

When multiple cameras are used, or the camera is combined with other equipment, do the following.

• Connect an external gen-lock synchronization signal (black burst output) to the camera G/L input.

34 Ignite SDC/HDC Robotic Camera Instruction Manual

Operating Procedure

Note The HDC camera accepts SD and HD synchronizing signals. HD synchro-

nizing signals may require different test equipment and may display differently than signals shown in Figure 15.

• Using a two-channel oscilloscope, observe the gen-lock input and camera video output waveforms.

• Match the horizontal phases of the gen-lock in and video out signals (Figure 15), by adjusting the camera H-Phase setting of the GEN-LOCK or G/L menu.

(1200bps, 2400bps, 4800bps, 9600bps) This setting is to select a communication speed in controlling the camera from the computer.

This enables RGB, Y/Pr/Pb or Y/C to be selected as the component signals which are to be output from the I/F REMOTE connector.
